CONTENT HUB PARTNERSHIP

Be present throughout the decision journey.

More than a listing: an ongoing presence across relevant TMD content, search journeys and local discovery.

WHY HUB PARTNER

Visibility across the content that influences decisions

People come to The Marbella Directory with local intent. Hub Partner gives your company a stronger position within that journey. Combining priority visibility, a richer business profile and dedicated optimisation designed to improve how your business is understood and discovered online.

Content Hub Visibility

Gain relevant visibility across your sector’s Content Hub, supporting guides and directory journeys – not just on a single business profile.

Editorial Authority

Receive a dedicated TMD editorial feature designed to explain your expertise, services and where your business fits within the local market.

SEO, AEO & AI Discovery

Your profile, editorial and relevant Hub placements are structured to strengthen search visibility, entity understanding and AI discovery across multiple pages.

Ongoing Relevant Placement

Be considered for relevant existing and future Hub guides where your expertise or service genuinely helps the reader – creating an expanding footprint as the Hub grows.

SEARCH AUTHORITY & HUB VISIBILITY

Be visible across the searches your customers are already making

A Hub Partnership goes beyond the ranking potential of your individual business profile. Your business can also be positioned throughout our wider Content Hubs, connecting you with high-intent guides that people find while researching, comparing and making decisions.

Across Property, Weddings and Wellness, The Marbella Directory already holds multiple #1 and Page 1 Google positions for valuable local searches. Relevant Hub Partners can be featured, recommended and linked from this content, directing qualified traffic into their profile and onward to their business.

The difference is reach across an entire topic, not just one page. Featured strengthens your individual business profile. Hub Partner adds another layer by placing your business within relevant editorial and decision-making content across the Hub, creating multiple routes for potential customers to discover you.

Organic search rankings are determined by Google and cannot be guaranteed. Positions can change over time and vary by query, location, device and competition. Hub inclusion is based on relevance to the individual guide and partnership scope.

Hub Partner FAQs

A Content Hub is a connected group of high-value guides, local information and trusted businesses built around a major Marbella sector such as Property, Wellness or Weddings. It is designed to answer the questions people ask before choosing businesses and services.

Hub Partners receive the benefits of Featured Business plus a dedicated editorial feature, Content Hub Partner positioning, relevant integration across Hub guides and decision content, SEO/AEO/AI-focused optimisation, enhanced analytics and ongoing placement opportunities as the Hub develops.

Yes. Complete the request form and, where your business is a suitable fit, we will provide access to a private page showing selected Hub reach, search visibility, analytics, partnership opportunities and commercial details.

No. Placements must remain useful and editorially relevant. Partners are integrated where their expertise, service or business genuinely fits the reader’s journey rather than being inserted into unrelated content.

Hub Partnerships have a minimum 6-month term. This gives enough time to build the profile, editorial coverage, Hub integration and ongoing search visibility rather than treating the partnership as a short campaign.
